PUSHKAR FAIRS AND JAISALMER

The lake looks stunning inside-out, and is a perfect place for pilgrims.Nearby the lake is a large ground where Pushkar Fair is held from 11th Kartik (October-November). The fair is also known as Pushkar Camel Fair, and is the largest camel fair in the entire world.During the fair, more than 50,000 camels from across the state gather in colourful attire and embellishments. Merchants sell their camels, starting from a mere amount of 14,000 to as massive as 200,000. Also, a camel race is organised in which dozens of camels run for victory, and winner are awarded with great rewards.Along with this, there are many attractions to see in this fair. Stalls offering mouth-watering fast food, hot balloon safari and cultural programs are worth watching.After a vivid sightseeing, return to your hotel and rest for the night.

The desert actually speaks to colours of Rajasthan, and the folklore which we are used to listen to.Some 28km from Jaisalmer is Sam Sand Dunes, the sand dunes which you see in movies. Ride on the back of a camel and start calculating their area. The village also organizes various cultural programs in evening, such as folk songs, dances and many more.After spending your night in a resort or hotel, check out from the hotel in morning and head towards your journey ahead.
